Why would GGG spend development resources creating separate balance profiles for a fraction of their playerbase when they could focus on the primary game mode?

"Together" still means diverting resources from league development to accommodate Standard's unique requirements. You're asking for double the work for marginal benefit.

Hitting the "ON" switch for the new content in Standard is all that's required. Your claim that this requires extra resources is false. Nothing is diverted. The workload remains the same. The benefit is that Standard players get to enjoy the new content too AND GGG now has more data to fine-tune how that content gets finalized.

you want GGG to maintain two separate balance ecosystems

GGG is actively already doing this. Currently, at the end of a league, final adjustments are made before Standard ever gets to see the new stuff. My argument is that GGG can still do that but implement the rough cut in Standard at the same time as they launch the league. The data from standard during that league only helps this process.

But sure, keep pretending this is about "fairness" when it's really about wanting special treatment for your preferred game mode.

The funny bit is this whole time I've been arguing for permitting more people to participate - at the cost of no one - while you are claiming they should be excluded. Who's the one really asking for special treatment?

Naaah, better to not answer anymore and do not spend more time.
I don't want to Antagonize him but his behavior in his message is openly for seeking drama and rage baiting other players which is against forum code of conduct.


If we go away from conspiracy theory and decide that he is real person who believe in all he wrote - it's impossible to prove anything for him due to his arguments and his "view".


Also, some of strange points and logical problems here:
his words "temp leagues exist for a reason"
and "temp league is a beta test and primary content delivery method"
I mean.... I haven't seen anyone calling Leagues or Season as temp with goal to deliver content on Standard. It's strange for me but ok.


What's the problem: See, when the content is being added on Standard it's not for Standard players - it's primary for new leagues players because Standard = Core. I would like to hear official stat here from GGG directly, but let be honest: <1% players are playing on Permanent Standard.
So, balancing content around Standard and legacy items is a waste of time, even balance around Ruthless seems more reasonable with 1k players per league.


BUT it doesn't mean that Standard players in POE2 should have the same approach as POE1, POE2 is unique game which is unlike anything else.
So, at least I expect and hoping to see new content on Standard for "Beta-test" as well as Balance changes going to Standard directly with league start.

POE2 players for their loyalty of playing and supporting this type of "vision" game deserve more than sitting.... how much it will be from 0.2 till 0.4?... 1,2,3....8, yep, more than 8 months without any new content.

Augest 29? So we still have 2 months away?

Seriously April to Augest is 5 months and its even the last day before September. So nearly a 6 month period even when they say 4 months in the post.

Man, this sucks. Really hope 0.3.0 has a lot of content for the nearly half a year wait.

wdym 6, its 4 months and 25days. so 5 at most.

hewl ya

Major updates for Path of Exile 2 are released every 4 months. Since 0.2.0 was in April, that means the next one will be in August

yeah, but it was april 4th and now its august 29th, so its more like 5 months tbh

So that means 1.0 will happen in lets see 7 times 4 months... 28 months from...

if we get druid and 4th act in august, then it is 2 classes and 1 act per 9 months, so after that it will get + 18 more months (1,5 year) to get remaining 2 acts and 4 classes, so 2027 for full 1.0 release.

You're being naive. "Hitting the ON switch" ignores all the testing, QA, and potential bug fixes needed when new mechanics interact with legacy systems that don't exist in leagues anymore. That's not zero cost.

Right, they do final adjustments after seeing how it performs in the intended environment. What you're proposing is implementing untested content simultaneously in both environments, which creates more variables and potential issues to track.

"At the cost of no one" is where you're wrong. There's always an opportunity cost. Resources spent accommodating Standard's quirks are resources not spent elsewhere. And Standard players aren't "excluded" - they get the content eventually, after it's been properly tested and balanced.

You're not arguing for inclusion, you're arguing for Standard to get the same priority as the primary game mode despite representing a smaller portion of the playerbase. That's not equality, that's preferential treatment.

came to check for news, still crickets
